how well will this vid card work?

128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS

from WinCustomize Forums
I'm getting a new Dell with Vista Home Premium. The video card it comes with is a 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS.

I cannot find out a lot about this card as it seems to be an OEM card.

Does anyone know if this will handle the full Vista 'experience'? Like Flip3D, Aero, etc.

I'd appreciate your help very much.

I've never purchased a system, always built them myself and Nvidia is not the way I would normally go.

Thanks,
werewolf

wow dxm765, I don't need anything like that :)

Well, as it turns out, my brain was forgetting one very important factor: the audio. :(

I suppose I'm going to have to get a "media extender" after all. My son isn't going to attach his 360 to our home theater system even after I showed him what his games look and sound like on it.

Thanks everyone.

Well, this may be a little OT, but since we're talking about different video cards I'm wondering about an upgrade. I currently have a 6600GT (128 megs) and Aero displays just fine (Vista graphics score 5.5). However, would I get noticeably better desktop performance with a newer card with more ram? I'm not talking about 3d gaming. I mean WindowBlinds skin and Dreams performance (faster redraws & lower cpu utilization).
